AI agent for production coordinators
Material Kit Staging Agent
Deliver complete, correct kits to the line before the order starts.
What it does
A kit that is missing one part stops a line and costs more than the part itself. This agent builds the kit list for each order, checks stock, and creates pick requests. When the picked kit comes back, it checks the contents against the list. It requests missing items and counts again. The coordinator approves the kit for release to the line. It does this before the order reaches the line, so a shortage becomes a request to the warehouse and not a stopped line. Each correction triggers a fresh count rather than a note that the item was ordered. Edge case: a kit that shows full on the pick sheet but has the wrong revision of a part is caught by checking the part revision, not just the count.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
